Back to the WHO report...

"The World Health Organization has carried out the first ever analysis of the world's health systems. Using five performance indicators to measure health systems..."

"The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, the report finds."

Again, the report used five categories to evaluate each health care system, so the ranking of "37th" has little to do with the actual operating room performance or therapy or any other guage of medical talent. It is about "fairness" and "financing" and "respect for patient dignity" and, er, you get the point.

We have the finest health care in the world, just not everybody is able to receive it.
